[Xen-devel] [PATCH 1/3] xen/arm: Don't emulate the MMIO access if the instruction syndrome is invalid

[Julien Grall <julien.grall@xxxxxxxxxx>]

When the instruction syndrome is not valid, the transfer register is unknown.
If this register is used in the emulation code (it's the case for the VGIC),
Xen can retrieve wrong data.

For safety, consider invalid instruction syndrome as wrong memory access.
